Graham's 10 yr Tawny Porto

Disclaimer: This tasting may be impaired due to the amount/quantity of different wines I have drank tonight.

Dark brown/mahogany color. Nose has aromas of walnuts and berries. This seems to have a larger presence of fruity characteristics than woody characteristics. Certainly a good value at $23.
Not as sweet as a ruby and shows characteristics of aging in wood. This has a cedar/maple finish; the last sensation is similar to crème brûlée. Very smooth, but clearly leaves that burnt quality on your tongue. In fact, although I prefer madeira for cb, I think this would go quite well with it.
